"The Punjabi food coming out of the kitchen at Tayyabs mixes both Pakistani and Indian flavours, and the institutional BYOB Whitechapel spot is famous for a tonne of good reasons. A large chunk of Londoners have got a story to tell about a time here, and pretty much all of them involve a queue of people outside holding jangling bags of drinks and the cheers of excitement when the sizzling lamb chops arrive. These days, the food isn’t the reason people come. The dry curries are passable and those lamb chops get a pass for nostalgic reasons. But as far as a multi-room, always buzzing, truly legendary restaurant goes, Tayyabs is a true part of London’s furniture." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager
